## About

BEYA (Berkeley Engineering Youth Academy) is an intensive hybrid program where students begin with online instruction on engineering fundamentals, then join in-person classes and labs at UC Berkeley to work on hands-on projects including CAD design, 3D printing, wind tunnel testing, and robotics. Participants get a taste of college life through campus housing, meals, and interaction with mentors at the College of Engineering, culminating in a final showcase of their prototypes.

## What you'll get

- Hands-on engineering project experience focused on design, robotics, and 3D printing
- 7.5 hours of online training in CAD basics and manufacturing tools
- 3-week in-person sessions on the UC Berkeley campus with labs and prototyping
- Opportunity to build and showcase your own prototype
- Interaction with undergrad/graduate mentors and industry visits
- Immersive college experience with campus dorm living and activities
- Networking with like-minded peers from around the world

## Eligibility

High school students (typically ages 15+) with an interest in STEM fields and some prior coursework in math/science.
